Nissan Primera

1.8 S 5d 114 BHP 5-Door

Second-Hand Nissan Primera

Used Nissan Primera
The Nissan Primera has always been a quintessentially British saloon car. This might surprise you given its Japanese heritage, but it was built for the European market and was sold new in the UK from its release in 1990. This model was available as a Hatchback, Saloon or Estate in its primary iteration, with three decent petrol engines on offer and a diesel introduced in 1992.

What You Get
First, second and third generation Nissan Primeras are all relatively well equipped for their time and come with durable Japanese designs that really stand the test of time in terms of reliability. The fourth generation is likely to be the more popular and widely available option out of all the used Nissan Primeras for sale at RAC Cars. The saloon features a big boot and the estate is even more generous. You get electric windows in the front and rear as well as some pleasing electronic touches, even in the base model. If you look higher up the range you’ll find a sat nav, voice-controlled gadgetry and air con with climate control. It really is good value for money.

How it Drives
Any of the 2.0 lite petrol-powered used Nissan Primeras offer a surprising amount of fun, squeezing 140-150bhp out of this particular engine. You’ll be limited to a 1.8 litre engine if you want one of the final Primeras to be manufactured, but with 111bhp this still has a decent amount of poke.
